Problem Passing Variables from Layer to New Window

[JohnBoy2005]

I've got a diary summary on my Intranet home page with 3 icons, 5 Day View, Month View and "Select A Date"

Each icon calls a hidden layer which display a calender. The same calender (layer) is called each time ("Layer1")

The layer contains an iframe which loads my default calender viewer page "calender.asp"

On selecting a date, I want my new window to display either a 5 day view, a Month view or the choosen date.

But I'm having real trouble passing variables from the img click to the calender layer then to the layout window.

Sample from the images:

onclick="showLayer('layer1','5');"
onclick="showLayer('layer1','M');"
onclick="showLayer('layer1','Q');"

Then:

sub showLayer(ObShow,f)

document.getElementById(ObShow).style.visibility="visible"
'dont know what to do here with f

end sub

How can I then transfer the value of "f" to the calender layer (calender.asp), then onto the calender view window.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers

John
